See Inside Amazon's Crazy New Store That Has No Cashiers

Amazon just opened up its futuristic, brick-and-mortar store in downtown Seattle and it’s sure to make your bank account scream.

In true Amazon fashion, the new store looks easy, fast, and revolutionary. Perhaps most striking: It has no lines.

As Amazon’s in-store poster puts it, you “just walk out” when you’re finished. That means you won’t have to wait in a line and contemplate all the choices you’re about to make much like you would in *cough cough* Target.

Once inside, don’t bother looking for shopping carts or baskets. Instead, you’ll receive shopping bags that you can walk out with.

There are cameras all over the store’s ceiling watching your every move. Those cameras detect when you pull an item off the shelf and will add it to your cart in the app. If you put it back, those cameras notice and remove the item from your cart. 😱

Note the form chosen for the cameras in the Amazon Go store – camouflaged and near-featureless. Imagine how replacing them all with traditional CCTV cameras would change the space, and its effect on people. The continual bait-and-switch of convenience for privacy. pic.twitter.com/wJrLVoORco
